Cooper Lighting: Call for entries in lighting competition

Peachtree City, Ga. -- Cooper Lighting has announced a call for entries for its 36th Annual Source Awards national lighting design competition. The competition, which focuses on furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design, is open to all lighting designers, architects, engineers, professional designers and consultants who use Cooper Lighting fixtures in an interior or exterior design project. This year’s competition will once again seek a creative use of fixtures providing energy-efficient design solutions in addition to standard projects.



The competition requires the primary and predominant use of any or all of the Cooper Lighting brands, which include Halo, Halo Commercial, Metalux, Portfolio, Neo-Ray, Corelite, Sure-Lites, Lumark, McGraw-Edison, Fail-Safe, Lumière, Shaper, IRiS, Ametrix, RSA, io, Invue, MWS and Streetworks.



Projects will be judged on the blending of aesthetics, creative achievement, technical performance and to the degree which the lighting met project constraints and design concept goals. There will be no minimum or maximum number of awards given, as each project will be judged on its own merit. Award categories will include: Winner, Honorable Mention and Award of Recognition.



Judging for the 36th Annual Source Awards competition will take place in February 2013 by a professional, independent panel of lighting and design professionals, as well as a representative of the Source, Cooper Lighting’s lighting education center. Winners will be announced in April 2013.
